Chapter 676: Asymmetric Warfare

In the dark night, the Yellow River, the warships are dense, the long lance is like a forest, and the swords and guns are like a mountain.

The confrontation between famous generals and famous generals, the collision between the Jianghuai strong army and the Wagang strong army, and the confrontation between the Hebei naval division and the torrent of infantry will be like the confrontation between the stars and the stars, which is magnificent and magnificent.

Born in this worst era, but also the greatest era, to become a member of the strongest army in the world, to fight side by side with his brothers, against the strongest soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, what a magnificent scene!

Zhang Zhongjian felt a rare hot current in his veins, and the instinct of being a soldier and a general revived in his body. He was glad that he chose the Central Plains and stayed in the Central Plains, allowing him to participate in the torrent of this great era and write his own chapter.

He slowly clenched his fists, and although he didn't make a sound, the hot eyes had already revealed the battle intent in his heart.

At his feet is the Hebei Water Division, which is also the strongest water army in the world, a real water division. Before him, although there were sailors in the past dynasties, there was no real sailor. Even the Great Sui Empire, which mixed the east and the west and unified the north and the south, although they had a huge group of warships, they had never had a real sailor. Crossing the river to destroy Chen, crossing the sea to attack Liao, in the great wars again and again, the sailors of the Sui Dynasty played more of a role in transporting troops.

During the three expeditions to Liao, the sailors crossed the sea from Shandong three times to attack Goguryeo, but their actions and goals were only to transport soldiers, open up a second battlefield, and contain Goguryeo's men and horses. The sailors of the imperial court did not conduct water warfare in the true sense, and their means of attack were landing and warfare.

And now. Zhang Zhongjian wanted everyone to know that the naval division was not a means of transport for the infantry, but a real branch of the army, a new branch of the army that was independent of the infantry, and even independent of the cavalry, infantry and other land arms.

What Chen Kefu once said gave him full confidence, wherever there are rivers, lakes and seas. will all be under the control of the Dragon Banner of the Water Master. The Marines are not vassals of the Marine Army, but a brand new class, one that can defeat the Army head-on.

Now, the opportunity is in front of him, and he will do it with a bang. Come and tell everyone that the sailor will also usher in his own era.

A reconnaissance clipper quickly sailed to the side of the Anlan battleship, and several officers quickly boarded the Anlan.

"Dashuai." On the shoulders of several officers there was the sign of an iron anchor, which was the mark of the sailor.

"How?" Zhang Zhongjian turned around and asked, although Li Mi's attack appeared as expected, but the attack was too weak, so weak that Zhang Zhongjian naturally judged that Li Mi would definitely have other attack methods.

A major officer spoke up. "Our reconnaissance ship found that on the north bank of the Yellow River, where the Luoshui estuary, there were quite a few enemy ships hidden, and the reconnaissance report was that they were all grain ships, loaded with some simple catapults, and quite a few soldiers. It was preliminarily judged that there were more than 200 large and small ships and more than 10,000 soldiers. In addition, a large number of shipwrecks have blocked the river near Luokou. Except for ordinary flat-bottomed boats, none of the warships above the Blue Dragon in our fleet can pass. ”

Zhang Zhongjian didn't say a word, and reached out to take a map, which was a map of the Yellow River in the Luoyang section. The map of the Yellow River is accurately drawn on it, and even the mountains and beaches near both sides of the bank are also depicted on it, which is very accurate.

"Li Mi chose a good place." Zhang Zhongjian looked at the map and nodded in praise.

At this time, the location of the Hebei Navy Division was five miles upstream of the Luoshui estuary. In this location, on the south bank of the Yellow River, it is the Bishan Mountain Range that shields the entire north of Luoyang. This hundred-zhang high mountain range is the remnant vein of the Qinling Mountains and the branch of the Minshan Mountains, and this natural obstacle constantly protects the north of Luoyang. And at this time, the north of the Hebei Navy Division in the Yellow River was completely blocked. …,

On the north shore, there is a rocky beach about ten miles long, and the high cliff wall is erected like a city wall on the north bank and the mountain on the south bank. Like a bucket, it clamped up the river of about ten miles upstream of Luokou.

Now, Li Mi chose to set up an ambush in Luokou, and the shipwreck on the east side of Luokou blocked the river, which was equivalent to blocking the eastern exit of this dangerous passage.

Picking up a charcoal pencil, Zhang Zhongjian drew a circle at the only passage to the west, and said with a flat smile, "If Ben Shuai's expectation is good, Li Mi can't attack just now, and he must have sent someone to block the river for the shipwreck in our upstream area."

Several sailor generals on the deck looked pale, "In this way, there are mountains and cliffs on the north and south banks, and the downstream river in the west has been blocked, if Li Mi really comes like this upstream, then wouldn't we be trapped in this ten-mile-long narrow river?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Zhongjian pointed to the south bank, "Li Mi also left us a road, see no, our south bank is not directly Bishan." Between the mountains and the Yellow River, there is also a small plain of tidal flats. ”

The place Zhang Zhongjian pointed to was a tidal flat washed out by the Yellow River, but this tidal flat was not small, ten miles from east to west, and four or five miles from north to south. Such a flat plain is a fairly suitable battlefield for large armies.

"Li Mi wants to force us to go ashore and fight them on land?"

"It must be so, otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged a soldier on the north shore." Zhang Zhongjian was not worried about Li Mi's plan at all. Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, the sailor battle will eventually choose to land on the shore. That's why Li Mi chose such a battlefield, this small plain is extremely flat, and it is extremely suitable for a decisive battle of the army. Moreover, Li Mi occupies the Pishan Mountain in the north, this plain, with the Yellow River in front and the Bishan Mountain in the back. There is the Yellow River on the left and right, and it is completely a dead place. Once the Hebei Navy Division really abandoned the boat and landed, then as long as it could not occupy the only passage of Bishan, it would only be trapped and killed in battle.

Wang Xuanying didn't understand the tactics of the sailor at all, in his opinion, the sailor was now blocked in the river, and if he wanted to fight, he could only hit the enemy if he went ashore. The beach reserved by Li Mi now is obviously a death trap. Li Mi occupied the mountain to the north, and they had no chance of winning.

"It's a trap and we can't do it. Otherwise, let's go into Luoshui, no matter what, it's better than the predicament of being surrounded on all sides. ”

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said with a smile, "That is Li Mi's real trap, if we enter Luoshui, it will be really dangerous." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the map, "You see, the eastern end of the mountain is just around Luokou, and now Li Mi must have occupied the favorable terrain of Luokou's mountain, if we enter Luoshui, then we don't need to think about it to know that since Li Mi can block the river upstream and downstream of us, then he will definitely block the river in Luoshui." As soon as we entered Luoshui, we could not leave against the river. ”

The topography of Luokou is no different from the place where they stayed at this time, the west is the tail end of the mountain, and on the east bank of Luoshui, it is also a continuous high mountain, and the mountain range to the east is actually the remnant of the mountain in a broad sense. And at the same time, between the mountains on both sides of the Luo River, there is a plain beach on both sides of the river that is similar to the south bank at present.

For Li Mi, as soon as he blocked the river, they could only go ashore. Because the Yellow River is wide, the river they were on at this time was about a mile wide. But if they entered Luoshui, the river there was only a few dozen steps wide, and they were surrounded by Li Mi, and it was difficult for them to even go ashore calmly, and they would be beaten to death by Li Mi's army.

As soon as Wang Xuanying heard that it was so dangerous right now, the excitement he had before disappeared without a trace, "Zhang Shuai, why don't we anchor in the center of this river, wait for King Chen's soldiers and horses to arrive, and then attack Li Mi together." ”…,

The generals on the deck all glanced at Wang Xuanying with some disdain when they heard this, and they didn't understand how a man like Wang Shichong could give birth to such a timid son.

Zhang Zhongjian flicked his cloak, brushed out the long sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Chuan Ben Shuai ordered, the whole fleet turned the rudder to the right, before dawn, all the fishing boats on the north bank were sunk for me, and all the fishermen who dared to row fishing boats to challenge our Hebei sailors were driven down the river to feed the fish!" ”

"Order!" After the generals received the order, they all turned around and went directly back to the command of the warships.

On the west bank of Luoshui, on the eastern Guan Ridge of Pishan, Li Mi's King of Wei is standing here.

This Dongguan Ridge is like the tip of a sharp sword, a sword is pierced at the intersection of the Yellow River and Luoshui, standing on the top of this mountain, the range of tens of miles in a radius is in full view.

Ever since Tanma informed Chen Ke of the arrival of the rehydrator, Li Mi has been standing on this mountain ridge and watching the Yellow River in the north. When hundreds of small boats loaded with flammable materials rushed towards the huge fleet on the Yellow River, Li Mi was silent on his face, but he was extremely expectant in his heart, expecting that his fire attack fleet would also burn Chibi and burn Chen Kefu's tall fleet.

It's a pity that such a fierce attack was so easily cracked by Chen Kefu's fleet. As a result of this loss, Li Miqi almost crushed his teeth.

The generals of the Wei State who followed Li Mi to watch the battle, looked at Li Mi's gloomy face, and they didn't dare to come out one by one.

Still a long time later, Fang Xuanzao boldly reminded him, "King Wei, the fire attack plan failed, should we immediately send an order to carry out a second plan, let the lurking fleet on the north shore attack, and take Chen Kefu by surprise when he won a small victory?" ”

"Okay, immediately go and ignite the signal and send an order, so that our latent sailor will be dispatched immediately to catch Chen Kefu off guard." Li Mi nodded.

Several soldiers immediately ran to the side and lit the three piles of dry firewood that had been prepared long ago, and for a while, in the dark night, three huge bonfires on the south bank of the mountain were lit and soared into the starry sky.

PS: I went to buy breakfast in the morning, but my wallet was stolen. Not only did I lose more than 1,000 cash, but I also lost my card, so I hurriedly went to replace the card in the morning, and it took most of the morning. Depressed, depressed vomiting blood
